Eloraam was so MY VISION that she wouldn't let any other mods interact with hers directly. Remember that block that just took items and immediately ejected them into atube network? Those blocks were a workaround for the fact that she wouldn't let anybody see or interact with her code, so nothing could output directly to tubes.

Was it redpower that added marble, basalt and fuckhueg volcanos without a way to turn them off in worldgen? Oh and another kind of tree too, if I recall correctly.

I'm enjoying blightfall, it's encouraged me to get serious with a mod I've ignored since TC2, where it was total rear end and put me off the mod for years. Pretty dissapointed that TC5's current future is going back to TC2

I tried the same, but Thaumcraft changed a lot since I last played, so I got stumped instead.

So what's the pick progression in OMP-i (singleplayer) like? Installed it late last night, got stuck at copper. Don't have materials to mine tin/iron as making a T shaped copper pick can't mine those, nor can flint TiC picks. Am I missing something?

Or make a plastic straw, drink some lava, then some water right away afterwards. That gives you obsidian. Either use that for a pickaxe head, or make alumite with it.

Casts require aluminum brass or gold, no? I can't mine anything higher than copper without cheating something in. I think the problem is mining iron needs an iron-level pickaxe head. Last version I played I don't think it was like that.

I understand the value of this change in lowering server lag, and I agree that passive flowers are pretty much universally worse than the active ones, but good lord some of the quotes in that blog post read like a bingo card of terrible minecraft modder quotes. We've got it all; discounting other opinions because "they aren't the target audience", we've got comparing of the mod to Dark Souls, and best of all it culminates in this little gem:

I had something in BFSR to build one, but HQM stinks for formatting text. The quest text just makes it kind of rough. It really needs pictures and diagrams. I hope Shukaro gets his HQM stuff out, although I loath the thought of migrating.

Enchiridion books are able to put in pictures I believe. You could just take some pictures of a basic 3x3 reactor and put them into the book. Give the book with the quest for Yellorite or something.

The problem I always had with using the traditional MFR breeder/rancher/chronotyper/slaughterhouse setup was that it always seemed like either my cows were periodically dying due to phasing into walls or else the machines'd get clogged and unlimited cows would wreck the server. It's not any criticism of MFR per se, it's that Minecraft mobs are hosed up to have to deal with in general. Sadly for MFR autospawner purposes you wind up needing SOME manner of essence input and grinding livestock is the easiest way to get it before you can afford a nether star to move a spawner with. Soul Shards 2 can ameliorate that somewhat.

Fences and conveyor belts more or less fix the suffocation problem though, but yeah minecraft's plenty hosed up.
